A MATCH BETWEEN COACHES, ADVISERS AND EMPLOYEES IN TUESDAY'S TRAINING SESSION

18/08/2020
The squad trained for the first time together ahead of Friday's final

The first group training session of the week for Sevilla FC took place this morning ahead of Friday's UEFA Europa League Final against Inter in Cologne. The session finished with an entertaining match between the coaching staff, excluding Julen Lopetegui, advisers and employees who are part of the travelling party in Germany.

After a 1-1 draw, with a penalty from Chairman José Castro and a goal from José María del Nido Carrasco, Monchi performed strongly in goal during the penalty shoot-out, allowing Fernando Navarro to score the decisive penalty, as the players watched on and supported them from the stands. Munir played the essential role of refereeing the match, while Sergi Gómez joined the SFC TV team as they recorded the match. 

A light-hearted atmosphere full of laughs to end the training session at the Paul Janes Stadion in Düsseldorf, as the side continue to prepare for the final against Inter. Ocampos did train with the group, as they practised rondos and worked on their transitions. 

This evening, the squad will do a group activity, for which all necessary sanitary measures have been taken and all protocols will be followed. Lopetegui's men will take a boat trip on the Rhine, after which they will rest ahead of another training session tomorrow.
